So...are you saying that because of eye color the FBI will not consider a suspect with a different eye color...??? hangdiver Wasn't that their main reason for not bothering to look at Christiansen? Would it go to say the height *edit(5' 8") and hairline (bald on top) may have had something to do with the lack of interest in Christiansen?

Melvin looks similar to Ben Gazzara. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Unsure of that detail, however Melvin was in the Navy during WW2. The U.S.S. Durik was one of the ships he was stationed on. This ship was an escort ship and escorted an air craft carrier at one time during its tour. The following is a video on YouTube regarding the U.S.S. Durik.... towards the end of the video at 48:58 a man is running past with a parachute. The entire video is interesting and nostalgic, but the cool parts showing the old war planes are 46:53 - 50:45. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q08gWodrl3M Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

I originally posted the article about the plane crash as a coincidence. With a little bit of internet searching, I have come to the determination that the Melvin Wilson on the plane was not my father.

I remember a day in February 2011 when my office phone rang. Eng called me on a recommendation of Jerry Thomas....THE agent in charge spoke with me for approximately fifteen minutes and accepted the information I had at the time. All the while they were working on LD and, well we all know how that progressed. Are they looking at the "next one" on the list? Hopefully, because I am pretty sure they are not looking at the previous suspects who have been ruled out, or taken off that list. Jerry may not be an FBI agent, however he does get past the "gatekeeper". Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

I understand there are some new posters at DropZone. Originally I came into the forum while searching for information about Dan Cooper. Google brought me here. On November 7, 2010 I posted the following: Georger pulled the pictures and made the following from the video. They can be found here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=125875; Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Do not forget about smokin99...... I already took that week off on my volunteering stuff.......school is off because of the Thanksgiving holiday.....I have two weeks of vacay time to use up.....now where do I come up with the coin?

So Jerry.....Since we are the only two left on DB Cooper forum, How are you doing?? Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Jo....This post of yours disappeared also!!! I captured it off my screen. Well this is "Weird and Freaky" Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Never compared pictures to Ted Braden - No reason. You just do not LOSE someone because of the fingerprint system. IAFIS was not used in the 60's, 70's, 80's...in fact the system went nationwide in 2001. My father's prints were never scanned and put into the IAFIS system. And without a comparison print or a reason to compare...they didn't. The other possibility is, Melvin did not commit another crime. Still yet one more possibility. He is dead. My Dad's skills...All I know about is his Naval History. He was on four different escort ships in WW2, 1943 - 47. One of the ships escorted an Aircraft Carrier. According to the first wife he worked at a British Motor Corporation as a salesman (they made the Mini Cooper and it was discontinued in 1971). He counterfeited payroll checks and Federal Reserve Notes. He was always looking for or "making" the easy dollar (or $20.00 bill) He has been missing from the Midwest since September 1971. He was 6'0" tall and weighed 180 lbs. Dark hair-almost black and parted on the left. Sideburns were mid ear length. He was 44 at the time of the hi-jacking. He smoked and drank (didn't everybody). He was very polite and had a persona of importance. He was glib....Antisocial Personality Disorder (my own diagnosis) Vicki Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

Georger and Blevins started it along time ago...They were BAITING each other..It was almost inevitable. I agree with Jerry. There are many in this forum with different backgrounds and research skills. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

*raising hand in the back of the class* Pick me...pick me....

Quade, more permabans or are these "vacations"? Does this purge open up some room for Snowmman? Just kidding. 377 I happen to believe you are not! Nice try though.... Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=lLszAAAAIBAJ&sjid=qfcDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7291,3904388&dq=melvin+wilson&hl=en This article is about a 727 en-route to San Francisco. It crashed in Salt Lake City in November 1965. One of the passengers that was hurt had a very familiar name.

Don't GO! He keeps on saying it is a nasty and gross (did I say nasty and gross?) place to eat. Read the reviews....READ THE REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!

Jo asks the forum: [Reply] Jo, wiping a small tear from her cheek, says: Jo...your computer may have a deep seeded virus that inhibits the playing of video. As I recall, back in the day when I had dial-up, Circa 1999, I could watch videos without any issues.

An "example of a successful coverup". A bit of a paradox, huh?

Ummmnnnn............ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ahSCKmJAQY The video pretty much sums it up. Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs

lol...I'm hiding behind the bar (after first removing all the bottles from the shelves). No use in wasting good booze. Besides we can always use it to disinfect the wounds. Orange, I think the first clue that things were gonna go cattywonkas was when all those lower form hominid references were made. Especially when they kept being repeated (as in lower forms should read these sentences twice ---(course naturehominid could've been referring to me)

By protection I assume you mean protection from prosecution. The FBI can't grant immunity. They are investigators not prosecutors. They can help secure an offer from the US Attorneys office but they can't grant it. Check with a criminal defense lawyer and you'll likely find that the statute of limitations has run on everyone associated with Norjack except Cooper himself. Are you implying that Cooper is still alive? I doubt it. Any solution that rules out Duane is ignored. If you've solved the case simply tell us what your evidence is. By tieing it to future cooperation you will solicit from the FBI, who will predictably ignore you, you leave yourself the usual out. Blaming the FBI has long been part of your MO. Your story probably involves airplane salvage work. It probably involves someone who knew Duane and can connect him to this. It probably lacks any physical evidence linking anybody to Norjack. If I am wrong simply tell us what evidence you do have. Otherwise it's just another tease Jo. None of your teases have panned out. Not one. Why should we expect this one to be different? Tell me why immunity is needed Jo? Cooper is the only Norjack criminal who needs it. The others, if there are any, are protected by the statute of limitations. Ill bet the FBI won't be interested in your story Jo. So what's your next move if they ignore you? What is plan B? 377 377, Your statements above do NOT apply. A criminal attorney can do NOTHING to help us and this process will have to go THRU the FBI...at their request. I am NOT about to risk ALL by letting anyone outside of the FBI have access to this information. A simple action on the part of the FBI is required. This is NOT a tease - and even after Legal Counsel - we have NO way to proceed without the FBI's assistance. For me to proceed on my own would give the authorities (FBI) and Cooper Chasers - reason to discount the "find". After 15 yrs of hard work and sacrificing my health - this won't happen. What is needed would be public anonymity to include that he could never be prosecuted for his past actions nor could the Govt impose any penalties (tax evasion) on him. I personally do NOT want him to face moral, legal or financial problems if he chooses to recant something told to the FBI yrs ago. I have NOT approached this - because it would be considered Tampering by the FBI - they are the ones who need to contact him and make the arrangements with him. I will NOT expose this man myself and NO he had zero to do with the skyjacking nor did he know Weber/Cooper during those yrs. I also will NOT subject myself to a lawsuit by exposing this person. Therefore it may become a story that can only be revealed during my final process on this earth. If the FBI choosed to let this go unsolved until that time - SHAME SHAME SHAME on them. Think how much money the government could save by solving this old Skyjacking. There are 2 other subjects whose stories validate Weber/Cooper, but they also have reasons NOT to go public. One was only a child in 1971...and the other one only knows a family story told for ys. No one wants to be a part of a Marla Cooper Act - recalling memories of an 8 yr old. I am sure this person with Cooper information, who is in need of protection for his past indiscretions (crimes), is someone the FBI will undoubtedly trust as a forthcoming witness. Surely, he has new and exciting information that cannot be discussed here because this information is so reliable that others may want to discount it as not the truth because it is. However, he needs protection. I agree with Orange1....blah.....blah......blah...... Melvin Luther Wilson - Missing Person since September 1971: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03QLnFvk8Fs
